Don’t think museums play an important role in our society? Just interview the families & students waiting (im)patiently for the @UF @FloridaMuseum to open. As #AAM says, museums aren’t just nice cultural amenities, they are essential components of our communities!

Spent my morning with @claugrant at Delta High School/@CabrilloCollege (Soquel, California) laying out and numbering 250 3D-printed snake bones and place holders. All for a series of fun STEM lessons for both high school and elementary school. Next up: wire cutting! #Titanoboa

[Alex Hastings @Dr_CrocoGator]

Today I’m at Delta High School/@CabrilloCollege in Soquel, California with @claugrant talking #Titanoboa and 3D printing #STEM lessons. We’re doing some fun stuff this week, all centered around a giant #snake! #K12 #SciComm

"Can you dig it?" Is happening now @FloridaMuseum. Don't miss your chance to chat with @UF scientist, identify fossils, dig up fossils and so much more.@paleoteach. I had a great time working with the @projectFOSSIL to help folks identify and chat about the fossil biodiversity.

Happy #MolluskMonday! The Horse conch (Triplofusus giganteus) is #Florida's state shell. 🐚 These marine snails can grow up to 2 feet long and they capture and smother their prey with their bright orange-red foot. So yeah...

How big was Megalodon? 🦈 featured at the @FloridaMuseum #nationalfossilday event. Our @paleoteach team created an app where students can calculate the size of the animal by using tooth positioning & measures 🦈 kids loved it! 🦈 App is free to use https://t.co/t63Ao9wrYu

Curing our first #3Dprinted frog skull from the @formlabs form2 @FloridaMuseum. Can anyone name the species? -There is a big clue on the mandible. Thanks to @renarducci @davidcblackburn and Amber Singh for helping set this up

[Ed Stanley @DrScanley]

The latest addition to the @FloridaMuseum digital imaging lab is here! Check back soon to see some super hi-fi #3Dprinted museum specimens from our awesome new @formlabs form2!

Supporting @MCPS teachers in their understanding of #NGSS this summer was not only a learning opp. for them, but also me! Thinking back on our work with the 3Ds and how to make them visible in my classroom! Can you tell which DCIs these pics represent?! #Science60 @mcpsElemMath
